    Gocycle service - kudos

    I bought a slightly-used show demo G3 from Gocycle, and like it a lot, but after about a month it went dead. The battery seemed to be OK, but the bike just would not power on. So I contacted customer service, and after a few back-and-forth emails about simple diagnostics, they offered to ship...

    GoCycle shipping

    Ordered a bike. The web site says normally shipped in 24 hours. It actually took four days. Today I received an email congratulating me for their having shipped it, but it contained No tracking information, which is amazing. The bike did ship, and Gocycle Customer Service indicated that this...

    Looking for folding ebike with torque-sensing that works well

    I have a Specialized Turbo, and I find that the pedal assist works so well that pedaling feels exactly like a pedal bike and makes it feel like it weighs 20 lbs. less. I'm in the market for a folder with torque-sensing PAS that works as well as the Specialized bikes. So far, those that I've...

    Wish your Turbo S had front suspension?

    I sure did - that solid fork transmitted every ripple, dip, and pebble in the road straight to my arthritic wrists and back. Until I got the Redshift Shockstop [drum roll.............] https://www.redshiftsports.com/shockstop-suspension-stem-ships-dec-14-2016/ Seriously, this sprung stem...

    Has anyone ordered a Daymak Chameleon?

    I've been interested in this bike. For $2K on Indiegogo you get a 2kwh 84v Li battery and 500W motor, and it qualifies as a bicycle, so you can use bike lanes or go up to 37mph on the street. Seems like a near-perfect urban vehicle to me. I took a test ride on a GenZe 2.0 (3K$), and found that...

    Sprung handlebars

    I had been thinking of upgrading my `14 Turbo with front shocks, as the bike rides Hard on our local unmaintained streets, and I have arthritis in my thumbs and wrists, but the cost would be around $500 at a guess. Instead, I've ordered one of these - hopefully in time for next spring...

    2014 Battery Failure?

    After a short ride today, when I plugged in the charger all four battery LEDs started blinking, and will not stop when plugged in to a charger. I tried it out of the bike, in the bike again, different charger, and etcetera. Took the bike to the dealer, who messed around with the battery for a...

    Chainkeeper for Turbo

    After dropping the chain for the dozenth time when I hit a pothole, I got annoyed and took it back to the dealer to see if he had a fix. I had heard that there was a piece added to the 2015 models that keeps the chain on the chainring, and was quite pleased to discover that there are bolt-holes...

    Thudbuster ST on Turbo

    Just took a test ride on the Thudbuster ST - what a delight. It takes all the small jitters and bumps away, and greatly diminishes the impact of the big ones. On a rigid heavy bike like the Turbo, with only the tires to cushion your butt from the road, the extra layer of padding and damping was...
